Residential Treatment for Depression, Bipolar Disorder & Persistent Mood Conditions

Mood disorders don’t just affect your emotions — they impact every part of your life, from your relationships to your daily routines and overall quality of life. Whether you’re battling depression, navigating mood swings, or feeling emotionally unstable for reasons you can’t explain, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

At First Light Recovery, we provide residential treatment for adults struggling with a range of mood disorders. Our small, supportive program in Orange County gives you the structure, therapeutic care, and tools you need to stabilize and thrive.

What Are Mood Disorders

Mood disorders are mental health conditions that primarily affect your emotional state. They can cause long periods of extreme sadness, hopelessness, or elevated moods and energy levels — sometimes switching between both.
These aren’t just “bad days.” They’re serious, clinical conditions — and with the right treatment, they can improve.
